Some of you listers may not have seen this. Those of us who are descendant of the Dawalt/Theobald/Daywalt BECK who settled in Rowan/Davidson County along Pounder's Fork of Abbott's Creek may find this interesting since we have seen reference to this on in Pennsylvania. Our ancestor came down the great wagon road from the Philadelphia are (where the worshiped at Zions Lutheran church) before 1768.
